Fried Broccoli Instructions
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Fry the Broccoli
Dip each broccoli floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain and Serve
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried broccoli from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with grated pecorino cheese while hot and serve immediately with the remaining buttermilk aioli for dipping.
